To the person
who finished an Economics degree in one of Japan's ivy league schools,
who is both a respectable newscaster and a drool-worthy centerfold model
who is considered a lyrical idol and a "revolution in Johnny's"
who can do any dance step save for a backflip
who can perform aerial acrobatics, given a height limit
who loves to eat rather than cook on TV
who brought us the neighborhood tiger of 2010
and who gave us a flat-headed Santa for Christmas
may you continue to succeed in doing the things you do, sparkle and shine with the rest of Arashi,
and please, keep on drawing :)
So, in honor of his 28th birthday, my first Arashi related entry shall showcase Sho's drawings :)
Let's start!~
::+members+::
Matsujun (or, Matsujun's back)
Nino, wearing an afro wig
::+animals+::
it's not a platypus
nope, this isn't a self-portrait
it's not a fly
it's not an elephant
this one's pretty decent :)
it's not in the sea
shiny egg
green scrambled egg
"looks like it's berating itself" (2)
the second runner-up to Totoro's cuteness
rawr
now you see it...
it may be missing a few parts, but it has abs~
::+scenes+::
the cap's blurry, but yes, those are two people in a... well....
surfing
Sho meets the ugly duckling
sumo wrestling on a chocolate cake
::+icons / characters+::
hairy snowman: the hint is "the mushroom"
your clue is the pyramid
ummm... Jigen with a french fry?
Mona Lisa
Michael Jackson
Vegeta (?)... ah. the Statue of Liberty
Lupin and Fujiko and that blue car from Mr. Bean
meditate under the "Naruto" sun
the trainer of the crab with the abs
And aside from stand-alone drawings,
he also made a picture book on his attempt to grow melons and watermelons... in June.
::+Sakurai and the Secret Garden+::
Entry 1: In which he is hopeful, while a bird nests in his hair
Entry 2: Manga in four frames~ in which he pays homage to Edward Munch *many thanks to
bclar for correcting my mistake :) maybe it's just plain stupidity on my part, but I really can't figure out why I initially wrote the name of one of the pioneers of cubism here, even when the painting is literally screaming expressionism~*
Entry 3: In which a tiger appears?! (the cat is too familiar), and his shoes match his pants
Entry 4: In which he tries to jump off the building, to escape those mutant cellphones
Entry 5: In which the souls of the plants fly away, leaving him in Munch-shock
Entry 6: In which we find out why Masamune used a lady bug as his pen cap... even before meeting Tsukamoto Youko.(or...maybe not?)
Entry 7: In which Sho is upset, as a crab in a bottle and a dinosaur in a can watch over the plants
Entry 8: In which a dragonfly mutates from the pesticide, and Sho calls for help using a mutant cellphone.
Entry 9: In which the Cheshire tiger poops on the remaining plant, and Sho is really, really mad.
Ummm... this collection is far from complete since I know I'm missing a lot of drawings
(including the one where Sho drew a concert screen and the ones he drew when Mihimaru GT guested on AnS). I'll just update when I find them
*digs old video clips*
Aaand... does anyone know what happened to Sho's garden?
Did it live or die, or did he give it up?
Was anyone able to check the website before for its progress?
